FAQ's

Do I have to pay anything?
There are no charges for students to set up an Unbound Medicine user account for Nursing Central access under the USask site license.

What content is included in the USask Nursing Central site license?
Students and instructors can access the following packages under the site license for no charge.
Nursing Central, Nurse's Pocket Guide, and RNotes.

Why is Windows Phone not supported?
There were several criteria used as part of the selection process to acquire an electronic resource for student use. One of the main goals was multi-platform support, which allows students to use devices they may already own to interact with the content. Unbound Medicine dropped support of the Windows Phone platform, but advises Windows Phone users to use the web browser method to access resources. The web browser method is mobile compatible for a variety of screen sizes.

Can I sign out of the App and login with a different user account?
No. If the app is associated with an expired account, please delete the app and download it again from the respective app store for your device. Then you will be able to sign in to the app with an alternate username.

Where can I get more information about Nursing Central?
Please visit the Nursing Central website for general information on device specs, installation, how-to videos, etc. (Note: There is no need to purchase Nursing Central directly from the website since it is provided at USask under the site license.)
